Cinderella, Snow White, Tinkerbell and other fictional fixtures of modern-day childhood were handcuffed, frisked and loaded into police vans Thursday at the culmination of a labor protest that brought a touch of reality to the Happiest Place on Earth.

The arrest of the 32 protesters, many of whom wore costumes representing famous Disney characters, came at the end of an hour-long march to Disneyland's gates from one of three Disney-owned hotels at the center of a labor dispute.

I once wrote a song parody of "The Telephone Hour" from Bye Bye Birdie, called "Toon Tune", in which all the Disney characters were desolate and out of work, pushed aside by the casts of the Simpsons and South Park. They had to take menial jobs not fit for Toon megastars, and poor Lady resorted to using her sharp dog ears to eavesdrop on Hillary Clinton.

Looks like I was prescient.

*And exercising your rights, which we will not tolerate, no matter how ludicrous it is to arrest Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
